The rows on this table are read and written by the Rules Editor when you define your eligibility rules for a Product.

The rows on this table are read by the Rules Engine when determining the eligibility of a case for the Product.

Example

You create a new custom Product and define eligibility rules for Product using the Rules Editor. The Rules Editor creates a row on this table to store your rules.

User Ronan Rooney creates a Product Delivery case for your custom Product and records evidence for the case using online functionality. He submits the case for approval and his supervisor User approves the case. The case is queued for deferred eligibility determination.

The queue manager dequeues the request to determine eligibility for the case and invokes the Rules Engine. The Rules Engine reads the row on this table to identify the rules which should be applied to the Product Delivery case, retrieves evidence about the case (via Rules Loaders) and determines that the case is eligible and calculates payment rates for the case.

Technical Notes

The set of rules is encoded in XML and may be quite large.

Rule sets may change over time to accommodate changes in legislation; however, older versions of rule sets may need to remain in order to determine eligibility for old cases. The management of which rule set applies to a case is held on Product Rules Link.

By default, Cúram uses Rule Sets only in the determination of case eligibility; however, the possibility exists for you to re-use the Rules Engine to perform rule-based processing for other purposes.
